Fresh Face [#005]: Jordan Richardson

Chances are, you haven't heard of Jordan Richardson just yet, or even seen her face. But if this supermodel in training keeps up her pace, she could join the ranks of models who we've come to know and love on a first name basis: "Naomi," Tyra", "Iman" and "Gisele."

Jordan is my cousin. I'm sooo proud of her!! I just saw her on a commercial and decided to check the internet to see if there were any new web sites listed w/ any new pictures of her. To my suprise, I found this nice write-up on her. Go Jordan! Love ya! :)

Jordan R. has a huge following in Wash, DC. Co-workers at my job, friends and family members call me whenever they spot a new "Jordan" picture. Some of them who are in the fashion business say that she is one of the "freshest new talents" on the scene and has great potential in the industry. I must say that it's wonderful when you see our youth focus on a goal and work unerringly towards that end while inspiring others (like my daughters) along the way. Great job Jordan R.!!!

I saw Jordan on a commercial for L'oreal the other day. I'm aspiring model and I have to say that Jordan Richardson is TEN TIMES better than Chanel Iman. I cannot open a magazine and not hear people talking about Chanel Iman and she's not even as hot as Jordan. I can't wait for Jordan to get a magazine cover or something. Then she'll really be in the bigtime but shes doing big things anyway.

I like Jordan and I see her as a cover model. Chanel Iman has the height and built to be successful on the runway. Anybody who watches fashion have to give Chanel her props. The girl has a mean walk and her pictures are getting better.

Jordan is a fabulous model. It's already very evident that she is a future supermodel. I mean she's every where u look! Every month I get 17 magazine and I swear she's always on at least 5 or 6 pages per issue! I think we're talking future Tyra Banks here

Jordan is my babygirl.she be doin her thing.i grew up with her and plan to keep growing with her by my side.and when im dead and gone she will still be doing that runway somejustice.only thing different is U will all see her wings.i see them now.but yall will soon.i love u baby.keep doin it till u cant do it.

I think it's good that both Jordan Richardson and Chanel Iman are black girls representing in the modeling industry. They are both beautiful and they both bring something different to the table.

All the back and forth about who's better and who's not is just pointless. I like them both for different reasons and I'm always happy to see a young black girl making some waves in modeling because it's a tough world to make it in.

Props to both Jordan Richardson and Chanel Iman for making it this far. There's a lot more success ahead for both of them. I'd hate to see another Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell beef get started with these two. There's room for more than one black girl at a time.

LOL IT'S AMAZING HOW MANY PEOPLE CLAIM PEOPLE THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW ... I ONLY CAN IDENTIFY ONLY MAYBE THREE OR MAYBE FOUR PEOPLE UP HERE IN OUR FAMILY THAT ARE REALLY RELATED AND WHATS SO FUNNY IS THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY ARE RELATED TO HER NOT EVEN SAYING IT OUT LOUD. GET A LIFE LOSERS ... JORDAN HONEY THIS IS YOUR REAL COUSIN ALYSSA AND WE ARE DEFINITELY PROUD OF YOU GIRLIE!! LOVE YOU AND SEE AT THE FAMILY REUNION... GO HEDGEPETHS!!! LOL

I know Jordan personally and I don't like her very much. I don't think her look is anything special. I don't honestly understand why she gets the jobs she does. And on top of that, she isn't all that great of a person.

Wow! It’s amazing to see how much this girl has truly blossomed. Coming all the way from VA and making it to this far is CRAZY. Even crazier cause I know her. And let me tell you she is beautiful inside and out.

People who are worried about her being "mixed with" something or saying "but [she] is biracial" this is not a dog show, we don't care about her pedigree...furthermore being of diverse heritage doesn't take away from her credibility as a talented model or from her blackness...if that is what is implied.

To the person who said her beauty comes from being part American Indian...cousin or no cousin..you're foolish to say so, she's beautiful because she is...not because she needed some Native American blood to boost her stock.

I'm just as happy as the next person to see a beautiful sistah holdin' it down in the business...but I couldn't care less what she's mixed with...it is a RARE occasion that anyone in this country can claim supposed "pure blood" of one ethnicity. (And why does it matter anyway?)

yes being in the model industry is like being in a dog show!!anyway she is cute but also very average (my opinion)...the afro is great though!!! i went on her myspace page what a vocabulary!!! it's better to see her in pictures than to read her...anyway good luck to her!!!

Hi Jordan, this is your aunt in Sharpsburgs, North Carolina. You go girl. You are beautiful girl and come from a beautiful family. Can't wait to see you at the Hedgepeth Family Reunion in Atlanta. Love You and keep up the good work. I am so proud of you and I brag about you all the time.

Chanel Iman doesn't look more Asian. If you go to an African American you will see many of the black girls that look like her. There's no way a person can look at her and say she's 100% asian. No way. Her hair and complexion is that of a light skinned black girl. Jordan Richardson looks a million times better.
